It will be interesting to see if the spam filters work but I'm
not holding my breath. My experience with spam filters has been that
they work some of the time, but not all of the time. I feel that if
the filters don't restrict 90% or more of the spam (maybe 1 or 2 spams
per week) then we should go to restricting the list to subscribers.
I prefer the principle of allowing anonymous postings so that band
members and others can post without revealing their email addresses,
but at this point the spam problem is starting to override that
principle in my mind.
Anyone who posts to the list from multiple accounts (or
anonymous accounts) and isn't subscribed from them all, please speak
up now. I somehow doubt that there are all that many. If there
are only a couple then it may be reasonable to remove spam at their
expense.
Let's give the spam filters a few weeks to see how they work
and then reconsider our options.
